“Overdoing it” doesn’t exist when you understand what it can accomplish. Bedrock Linux for example is based on symlink abuse from what I understand

Friend did you just copyright your lemmy comment under creative Commons v4?

Like 3 weeks ago on my (testing) server I accidentally DD’d a Linux ISO to the first drive in my storage array (I had some kind of jank manual “LVM” bullshit I set up with odd mountpoints to act as a NAS, do not recommend), no Timeshift, no Btrfs snapshot. It gave me the kick in the pants I needed to stop trying to use a macbook air with 6 external hard drives as a server though. Also gave me the kick in the pants I needed to stop using volatile naming conventions in my fstab.

I never liked debian or it’s derivatives, but since moving to Selfhosting most of my services and needing sane defaults on my server (I’m a noob with server stuff) I’ve circled back to LMDE after 20 years of using primarily bleeding edge and DIY distros.

I like it, it’s nice that it’s set and forget and doesn’t need constant attention like my bleeding edge stuff always did.

If nothing we do matters, the only thing that matters is what we do.

Life sucks, the world is a bad place. Leave it just a little bit better than you found it and you’ve lived life’s purpose in my book. We are generational garbage collectors, picking up the pieces of societal trash our forebearers left behind. So do your part. Pick up the trash. Leave the world just a little bit better than you found it.

Depends on the game, but also the context.

Maybe this has changed since I’ve upgraded my gaming specs but I used to average 14 FPS on Kerbal Space Program and had a great time with it, docking is a nightmare at that frame rate but otherwise it’s more than playable.

Back in my poverty gaming days I 100%-ed a pirated The Simpsons Hit and Run with potato graphics at slide show speeds, I’m talking like multiple seconds per frame with around 80% frame droppage.

Nowadays I just care that it looks decent and runs smoothly for the games I play, which is mostly Civilization and Stellaris

Sigh 😮‍💨

Hon I think you maybe misunderstood your chem class.

Carbon is carbon is carbon and doesn’t know or care if it’s in a living body.

Carbon-14 has a half life of 5700 years. This means that through random decay, the approximate rate of decay is one half of a given amount every 5700 years, this of course breaks down when you reach the single-digit quantities of atoms.

Now, this has nothing to do with the stability of an atom of regular-ass carbon-12, your common garden variety carbon, which is extremely stable and would require outside influence to decay into another isotope.

Oh my bad I’m a silly

Looks to have the same features, Heliboard appears to use the Swype library from SwiftKey which is a close source blob, use that info how you will.

Futo keyboard has no telemetry whatsoever

I had a flip phone because I was a latchkey kid who walked to school. My parents wanted to be able to contact me and vice versa.

Easy:

Between ages 13 and 18 if I received a phone call it was because I was in trouble, so now when I get one there is a pang of guilt and panic over whatever it is I could have possibly done

I use an HTPC that happens to be powerful enough to be a gaming PC, I also have a media server facing the internet for use on the go.

Most of my pc use nowadays is for media consumption and analog to digital conversion for backups (VHS to HDD and eventually M-Disc for long term storage).

I do a bit of emulation, most of that is done with an ARM handheld PC but it’s an SP form factor and I don’t really think it counts. I do a bit of PS2 emulation as well on my HTPC but mostly just to verify good rips of my physical games which I have backed up.

If you have a GPU with ray tracing hardware and at least 12gVRAM you should be able to run it albeit slowly at home

Not sure how I’d go about checking that, it isn’t listed as an anti-feature, but neither is anything else since there’s no description on f-droid
